The first example of this extraordinary photo we saw was one that was gifted to us by our friend Ryan Christoff of Cubanbaseballauctions.com. Knowing our small collection of New Jersey sports memorabilia Ryan felt the photo would be better suited to our collection and it has hung in our home ever since. This second example was found in the collection of Ted Patterson one of just a handful that we have found in our research. The photo depicts players in an "All-Star Masonic Baseball Game" that was played on October 12 1935 in Trenton New Jersey. While our research can find no information about the game itself clearly it happened as evidenced by the 23 players in baseball uniforms and lodge hats posing for the photo. According to the caption the National League players beat the Americans 7-6. The players pictured in the photo read like a who's who of superstars of the era most (but not all) wearing major league uniforms nearly all wearing what appear to be lodge hats. Participants are identified at the bottom of the photo as such: FRONT ROW (L-R): Umpire Tiny Parker Sam Jones Lefty Grove (HOF) Sam Foxx Jimmie Foxx (HOF - wearing his All-Americans uniform) Rip Collins Cliff Case Trenton Forest (Grand Tall Cedar of the Trenton Forest) Max Bishop Herb Pennock (HOF) Charles Gelbert Frankie Hayes. MIDDLE ROW (L-R): Hulet (unknown) Ethan Allen George "Kiddo" Davis Dazzy Vance (HOF) Waite Hoyt (HOF) Red Rolfe Curley Ogden Dick Porter. BACK ROW (L-R): Charlie Hargraves George Earnshaw Bucky Walters Rube Walberg Jim Pattison and Lena Blackburne. The photo credited to "Moyer " measures 20 1/2" x 12 1/2" in its frame wihich exhibits some ggeneral waviness light wrinkling and some minor staining or discoloration in the white borders none of which interferes with the display quality of the photo. The circumstances of the game or its location is unknown though a grandstand full of fans in the background of the photo implies that the game was promoted and played for spectators in a large enough ballpark to accommodate such an array of talent and fans. An outstanding photo seldom-seen.
